Tho Gazette nays:
Following an inspection trip
which demonstrated to the new
management the possibilities of the
country to the north of Reno, im
mediate steps to better the train ser
vice of the Nevada-California-Ore-gon
railroad to California and
Southern Oregon points have been
taken. .
General Manager Cox announced
that a gravel train will be started
to work at once, re-ballissting V5
miles of track with gravel. Another
Improvement will be the wldeuing
of all fills or dumps, to 12 feet.
"I believe In the importance of
little things," said Mr. Cox, " and in
sufety. We want people to know
that when they leave Reno for Lake
view or any points' along the line
they can come back safely when
ever they ure ready. Nothing will
be left undone that will insure sufe

Word was received that a new

election. Circuit Judge Henry L. Ben
sou of Klamath Falls, has expe; at
work today checking the returns
from Multnomah County. He may
also check the returns from Wash

Telegram of June 8. Judge Renson
this morning had expert accountants
one of whom will operate an adding
machine, verifying the count from
326 tally Bheets on file in County
Clerk Coffey's office. If any error
has been made in the findings of the

will disclose It. '
So far, all that Judge lienson has
been able to learn is that the official
returns from all counties in the state
except Multnomah and Washington,
and unofficial returns from' these two
T-iiunties gave him a few more than
34,500 votes and Justice McNary just
14 plurality.
"Just one majority Is enough to
make me lie down and acknowledge
that I have been defeated." said
Judge Renson. "All I want to know!
Is that there has been no blunder in!
the findings. of the canvassing boards'
of these two counties. I have been
urged to start a legal contest against
Judge McNary by demauding a re

There may have been some errors
in counting the ballots In certain pre

New Pine Creek has again come

resulting in considerable damage
to the fruit and garden stuff. In
some places it is also reported that
barley was damaged. According to
first reports it was believed that
nearly all fruit in this county was
killed but later advises have it that
much of this crop escaped, as like
wise did the berries in different lo
calities. The abundant moisture which fell
during the ' days following the cold
snap Is a great redeeming feature
to the adverse condition, inasmuch
as it assures bountiful wheat and
hay crops. The farmers take this
most jubilantly and it will go a long
way toward recounting for damages
done. Insofar as the vegetables and
garden stuffs are concerned there
is plenty of time to replant them
and yet secure good returns. The
writer believes thut early planting
is a mistake too generally made in
this vicinity as a better yield is se
cured from later planting and the
loss by frost eliminated.
In summing it all up practically
the only lo&s Is in the line of fruits,

much lighter than was at first re

Means Much to Local
Dairying Industry
J. E. McCoul Monday night reach
ed home with two carloads of Hoi
st ein stock which he purchased In.
Wisconsin for himself and F.' P.
Cronemlller. The shipment con
sisted of seven young cows 25 two-year-old
heifers, 43 yearling heif
ers, and two yearling bulls. Nona
of the heifers are registered al
though a number of them are full-
bloods and the balance high grades.,
but both bulls are registered. Mr.
McCoul was 13 days on the return
trip and as a consequence all the
stock was quite thin on reaching
Lakeview. However, a few days :
feeding on the rich grasses of Goose
Lake Valley w ill , make a decided. ,
difference in their looks. ",
Mr. McCoul states that in the
dairy districts of Wisconsin he met '
buyers from nearly every Northern.
State, and that the demand for .
dairy stock, and especially for Hol
stelns, is astonishing. The Chicago
beef market is reaching out for all
kinds of meat, and what seemB al- .
most fabulous are the prices paid
for -voung , calves for veal. As a.
Mivisieee '-ft looks as if tbert
would soon be a shortage in year
lings and 'two-year-olds, and natur
ally prices for dairy stock are likely
to soar in the . very near future.
Even at present prices one looks at
his bank account twice before pur
chasing, the yearlings Mr. McCoul
purchased having cost $50 and the
two-year-olds $60 in Wisconsin. Add
to that the freight and incidental
expenses and the cost is consider
able for the stock in Lakeview.
The shipment means much for
dairying in Goose Lake Valley and
especially the importation of the re
gistered bulls, for they insure a
good foundation for the dairy herds.
Part of the stock is for sale, and any .
one desiring to purchase should in- x
quire of Mr. McCoul.
It might be incidentally mention
ed that while Mr. McCoul was
treated with the utmost courtesy by

New Pine Creek, Oregon, June
10. (Special) There seems to be a
great deul of comment about the
city couucll raising the saloon li
cense from $125 to $200 a quarter.
The problem has beea a very hard
one for the. council to solve.
The limit on tho number of sa
loons for New Pine Creek is four.
We had two at $125 a quarter up
to the time that McCurdy was ar
rested and closed out. The next
quarter there were three applica
tions presented but tho council de
cided to issue but one license and
Increase the license to $300 u quar
ter. Mr. Thomas received the only
license In April and was cut to $125
as the council contemplated grant
ing two licenses, but the parties
that were to take over tho McCur
dy stock and fixtures Intended to
apply for u license when the court
adjusted the McCurdy affair, which
wus done as soon as expected.
At the council meeting lust night
it was decided to increase the pre
sent rate of license to $200, as only
one application is up. This move
seems to meet with the general ap
proval of all citizens as all feel that
